Latest data released by Istat - 9 April 2019

  • Prior +0.5%
  • Retail sales +0.9% y/y
  • Prior +1.3%

Slight delay in the release by the source. A minor improvement in Italian consumption activity in February but it isn't one that will do much to change the current Eurozone economic picture. Low-tier data. EUR/USD still sits at 1.1265 in a narrow range for the day.
